Supporters of Ukraine Network facilitator Pete Shmigel says over the last couple of months Russia has become “more aggressive and more brutal” in its war against Ukraine.
Mr Shmigel’s comments come after a group of Australians wrote to Treasurer Jim Chalmers urging him to divert billions of dollars of frozen Russian assets to go toward financially assisting Ukraine.
Russia becoming ‘more aggressive and brutal’ towards Ukraine
“Here we have this proposal … we know that the Russian Central Bank has invested money in Australia just like it’s invested money in other countries,” he told Sky News host Erin Molan.
“We want to identify what that sum of money is and then allocate that money towards the reconstruction of Ukraine.”
Mr Shmigel sat down with Sky News host Erin Molan to discuss the war in Ukraine.
